Can’t Fix a Leak You Don’t Know Exists

Where to Find Growth During an Economic Downturn
Where to find growth during an economic downturn is a challenge. After the year we’ve all just had, where learning to be flexible and flying by the seat of our pants wasn’t optional, it may feel a little ridiculous to even attempt goal-setting in 2021.

This turned out to be critical in the reduction of waterborne diseases. Water has always been an innovative industry. Imagine if routine disinfection of drinking water had been met with resistance, or hadn’t been thought […]
